Audiobook Review: Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick

From the Publisher: 

The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. They've overcome the secrets riddled in Patch's dark past...bridged two irreconcilable worlds...faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust...and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they've worked for—and their love—forever.

My Thoughts:

Silence is the third installment in Becca Fitzpatrick's teen series, following Hush Hush and Crescendo. The series tells the story of Nora and Patch. Patch is a fallen angel and Nora is a normal teenage girls, or is she? The problematic romance between the two keeps readers turning pages.

Silence begins with Nora having amnesia. As a reader, I had no idea what was going on for a bit either. Slowly we are filled in on the pieces of the story that are missing as Nora searches to learn what happened to her and who she is. It was a little frustrating to read the very beginning, but once I figured out how things were unfolded, I did not mind. If you get stuck, hang in there, it does get better.

Quite a few questions are answered this time around. Some I already knew, Nora was learning them against her amnesia. Others bring the story around to where I had thought it might be leading. I would not say things were predictable, but it was no surprise the way things panned out. As if with any good series, there are many new questions at the end that have me not-so-patiently waiting for the fourth book which is to be published in Fall 2012.

The narrator, Caitlin Greer, does a great job capturing the personalities of the characters. Since most of the book is from Nora's perspective, it is easy to associate her voice with that of the main character's. This was an Audible purchase for me and everything went smoothly.

The Author:

Becca Fitzpatrick's first book, Hush, Hush debuted as a New York Times bestseller. She graduated college with a degree in health, which she promptly abandoned for storytelling. When not writing, she's most likely running, prowling sales racks for shoes or watching crime drams on TV. She lives in Colorado.

Rating: 4/5
